Because they look so beutiful
Their own just looks so mean
Like a silent wind that sweeps the land
They came and took them away
And they took them far, to their new home
And the lives that they once had were forever gone
And the lives that they once had were forever gone
A life that dwells in shadows
Is now where they belong
And what once were human
Shall not be seen no more
And still they look so beutiful
But their hearts are cold
Like a silent wind that sweeps the land
They came and took them away
And they took them far, to their new home
And the lives that they once had were forever gone
And the lives that they once had were forever gone
2. Eyes Of The Dead
Darkness is coming, it´s black and cold
No sign of light in sight
Darkness call them, it´s time to arise
Killed in the early lives, in the act of crime
Can´t find peace of mind
Darkness caññs them to wander the night
Eyes of the dead
Watching the moves that you made
Eyes that burn
Eyes of the dead
Want you to show them the way
To their freedom
To follow the light
Sadness fills them, restless souls
Can´t find the light
Inner demons that won´t let them pass away
Trapped by a secret key, that they cannot find
That can´t be healed in time
Always calls them to wander the night
Eyes of the dead
Watching the moves that you made
Eyes that burn
Eyes of the dead
Want you to show them the way
To their freedom
To follow the light
3. The Fiddler
Unspoken terror, a threat to all man
A demon who lives in the seas
With music he tricks you, with music so sweet
Tunes that will lead you astray
With magic of evil he plays with your mind
He transform to man and beast
He looks so harmless, his eyes are so blue
But oh, he plays you a fool
He sits in the stream and he´s playing his tunes
As beutiful as can be
But don´t stay and listen
Run as fast as you can
Or forever lost you will be
To the man who lurks in the deep
He is the deciever
The source of all evil
And he feeds on our souls
So do not get near him or his cold hands will take you
And drag you below
He sits in the stream and he´s playing his tunes
As beutiful as can be
But don´t stay and listen
Run as fast as you can
Or forever lost you will be
To the man who lurks in the deep
4. Watcher In The Deep
Walking on an empty trail
You´re walking on with silent steps
Don´t want to stir what is in rest
Legend told so many times
Is it true or is it lie?
That something lives inside the hills
Stories say that people seem trails of something huge
What if he lives there
What if it´s real then
Would he come for you?
Deep down in the mountain hall
Where no man ever been before
There you´ll find the land of the mountain king
If you have to cross his way
Don´t stay and rest, just haste if you can
Don´t push your fate with the mountain king
(Hurry, hurry) Don´t you stay there
(Evil, evil) In the air
Don´t want to stay there all alone
(Silent, silent) In the air
(Dark and cold) You´re in despair
You feel that something´s watching you
Deep down in the mountain hall
Where no man ever been before
There you´ll find the land of the mountain king
If you have to cross his way
Don´t stay and rest, just haste if you can
Don´t push your fate with the mountain king
Is he there in the deep hall of the mountain king?
Can you feel that he is near?
Can you see that he is near?
Legends are real
Deep down in the mountain hall
Where no man ever been before
There you´ll find the land of the mountain king
If you have to cross his way
Don´t stay and rest, just haste if you can
Don´t push your fate with the mountain king
5. Your Time Has Come
In a time of chaos
When darkness was all around
She came with the light
A light to us all
From earth she was born
Creator of life
With powers to create
All beautiful life
The people, the followers
That lived by her guidelines
Have slowly begun to fade away
Forgetting the rules
Respect for all living
What once were so strong
Vanished and gone
Mother Gaia, your time will come
To claim the land, the throne
That once was your own
Mother Gaia, your time will come
To claim the land, the throne
Your time has come
6. Beauty Is The Beast
Dark depth and mystery
Sweep the forest were she lives
Beautiful white as snow
But her heart´s is dark and cold
It´s hard to see
She looks so harmless
But watching her will make you go insane
Searching, seeking, she wants to be near you
Wants you to be hers, make you a slave
Touch her, feel her in darkness you lay her
She has enslaved you, turned you insane
She´s the hunter, her prey is men
Prefers to strike the married men
Wants to destroy what she can´t have
Rejoice in sorrow, anger and pain
It´s hard to see
She looks so harmless
But watching her will make you go insane
Searching, seeking, she wants to be near you
Wants you to be hers, make you a slave
Touch her, feel her in darkness you lay her
She has enslaved you, turned you insane
7. Underworld
Out of nowhere, deep in the mist
You can hear someone calling
Soft and gentle, calling you
To follow their voices
Something is there deep in the ground
(And it´s begging you to see)
Tries to decieve you and take over your mind
Don´t you go down
Stay were you are
Or you´ll be lost forevermore
You´re lost in the underworld
Never go back
Once you are trapped
Run away don´t stay to hear
The voices from the underworld
It´s hard to see
What is their pupose
What force is dividing them?
That´s leading the men astray
To the kingdom of twilight
Something is there deep in the ground
(And it´s begging you to see)
Tries to decieve you and take over your mind
Don´t you go down
Stay were you are
Or you´ll be lost forevermore
You´re lost in the underworld
Never go back
Once you are trapped
Run away don´t stay to hear
The voices from the underworld
8. Magic Elements
Enchanted with powers given to them
Something that they had since the beginning of time
Inherited powers
Mother of nature, they are her children
With the quest to take care of our beautiful world
The nature
Magic elements
Giving them their strengh
Earth and fire, water, wind
Kind and helpful is what they are
With no questions they help everyone
That´s in need all they shall help
But ignoring their rules
And breaking your promise
Will cause them to build up their anger inside
You shall feel their wrath
Magic elements
Giving them their strengh
Earth and fire, water, wind
So live in peace with them
And feel the magic surrounding you
Mighty elements
Guide you through your life
Signs from the goddess, we cannot see
The lack of knowledge and lack of faith
Have made us blind
But if you search for the old ways
And learn the traditions
Soon you can hear them speaking the words
And learn their secrets
Magic elements
Giving them their strengh
Earth and fire, water, wind
So live in peace with them
And feel the magic surrounding you
Mighty elements
Guide you through your life
9. Shine On
Sleet is falling
Shadows all around
A light is calling
For the lost and fallen ones
No rest for the wicked
In life and death entombed
By twisted delusions
Forever lost and doomed
Seeking redemption
To break the chains of sin
Searching oblivion
(Shine on shine on)
You restless spirit
(Shine on shine on)
Keep searching the door
(Shine on shine on)
Into land forevermore
Giving confession
Telling wrong from right
Leaving marks of correction
In a trail of distant light
In a past of betrayal
Lies the key to free a soul
Bringing light for the needy
The secret will unfold
Now repenting
The sins of yesterday
Searching oblivion
(Shine on shine on)
You restless spirit
(Shine on shine on)
Keep searching the door
(Shine on shine on)
Into land forevermore
(Shine on shine on)
You restless spirit
(Shine on shine on)
Keep searching the door
(Shine on shine on)
Shine your light to get ashore
The land forevermore
10. Ace Of Spades
[Motorhead cover]
If you like to gamble, I tell you I'm your man,
You win some, lose some, all the same to me,
The pleasure is to play, makes no difference what you say,
I don't share your greed, the only card I need is
The Ace Of Spades
Playing for the high one, dancing with the devil,
Going with the flow, it's all the same to me,
Seven or Eleven, snake eyes watching you,
Double up or quit, double stake or split,
The Ace Of Spades
You know I'm born to lose, and gambling's for fools,
But that's the way I like it baby,
I don't wanna live for ever,
And don't forget the joker!
Pushing up the ante, I know you wanna see me,
Read 'em and weep, the dead man's hand again,
I see it in your eyes, take one look and die,
The only thing you see, you know it's gonna be,
The Ace Of Spades
